Researchers dig into data to predict kidney decline in ADPKD patients
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study reviews medical records from 70 adults with advanced polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) who are already taking the drug octreotide LAR. The goal is to find out which early signs, like total kidney volume, best predict how fast kidney function will drop over time. No new…
